Bath re-enamelling for Mortimer West End homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our bath re-enamelling in Mortimer West End

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Mortimer West End?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Mortimer West End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Mortimer West End?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mortimer West End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

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

How to care for the repair

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
