Bath re-enamelling near Norbury

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Bath re-enamelling in Norbury without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace in Norbury?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
