Bath re-enamelling in Maidenhall, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Maidenhall and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Maidenhall

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we’re called out for in Maidenhall

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

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

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Maidenhall

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Maidenhall. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
