When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hoxton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Hoxton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your N1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hoxton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hoxton
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hoxton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How it works
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.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
