How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Street

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Street as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

FAQs for South Street

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, South Street included. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will the new finish last?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
