Trusted bath re-enamelling in Mill Hill

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mill Hill

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mill Hill

Do you cover Mill Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mill Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Repair or replace in Mill Hill?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mill Hill?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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