Trusted bath re-enamelling in Plashet

Bath re-enamelling in Plashet, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Plashet and across Greater London.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Plashet

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E6 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plashet

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Plashet, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Plashet

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
