Bath re-enamelling in Lewisham without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Lewisham questions

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to Lewisham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Lewisham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Common problems we fix in Lewisham

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lewisham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
