Bath re-enamelling near North End

Bath re-enamelling in North End without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for North End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common questions in North End

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

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in North End

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in North End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
