How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lisson Grove

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Common questions in Lisson Grove

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lisson Grove as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lisson Grove?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Lisson Grove

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
