Bath re-enamelling for Little London homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little London

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Common questions in Little London

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Little London is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little London as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
