FAQs for Palmers Green
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you work in Palmers Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Palmers Green and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Palmers Green
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Palmers Green and across Greater London.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Palmers Green
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Repairing versus replacing in Palmers Green
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Palmers Green
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Palmers Green
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
