About our bath re-enamelling in North Kensington

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Kensington?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in North Kensington

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Will the bath be moved?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including North Kensington and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Landlord and trade work in North Kensington

What affects the price in North Kensington

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Repair or replace in North Kensington?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
