Bath re-enamelling in Regents Park, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Regents Park: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Regents Park?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO15 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Materials and what they mean for the 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.

Cast iron

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Regents Park

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Regents Park

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Look out for these signs:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
