Bath re-enamelling at your home in Northfields

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Northfields

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Northfields?

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Northfields questions

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are there extra charges for Northfields?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
