Bath re-enamelling for Mitcham homes

Bath re-enamelling in Mitcham without replacing anything

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. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Mitcham

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Mitcham. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Mitcham

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Questions from Mitcham

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
