Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hounslow

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Hounslow get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hounslow

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
