Bath re-enamelling in Mount Vernon without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we work on in Mount Vernon

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Mount Vernon

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Mount Vernon

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the bath be moved?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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