Bath re-enamelling near South Ruislip

Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Ruislip

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in South Ruislip

For anyone letting property in or around South Ruislip, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in South Ruislip, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Ruislip?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in South Ruislip

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Aftercare tips

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

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
