Need bath re-enamelling in Notting Hill?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Notting Hill

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Notting Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Notting Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Notting Hill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
