Bath re-enamelling in Millbank, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Millbank

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Millbank clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
