Bath re-enamelling for Kensal Town homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kensal Town

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Kensal Town, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kensal Town?

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
