Need bath re-enamelling in Round Bush?

Round Bush: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Round Bush

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Round Bush

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Round Bush as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we are called out for in Round Bush

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel 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’s the part we put right.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
