How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kilburn

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Common problems we fix in Kilburn

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Kilburn

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kilburn. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
