Bath re-enamelling near Merton Park

Bath re-enamelling in Merton Park, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Merton Park. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on 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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merton Park use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace in Merton Park?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Merton Park

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Merton Park

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
