Bath re-enamelling in Primrose Hill, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Primrose Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

FAQs for Primrose Hill

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Primrose Hill

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
