Bath re-enamelling near Millwall

What affects the price in Millwall

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath re-enamelling in Millwall, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Millwall

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Wear marks under the taps

Common questions in Millwall

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
