Bath re-enamelling near Little London

Bath re-enamelling in Little London without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Little London questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Are there extra charges for Little London?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Little London

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 booking.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Little London

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
