How we handle bath re-enamelling in Muswell Hill

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. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Muswell Hill

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Muswell Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Muswell Hill?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Muswell Hill

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Muswell Hill?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How soon can you come?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

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.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
