About our bath re-enamelling in Richmond

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Richmond: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are you accredited?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TW9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Richmond?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Richmond

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Richmond, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Common problems we fix in Richmond

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
