Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newington

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through

Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- 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, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
