Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lower Farringdon

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Lower Farringdon: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
