Bath re-enamelling in South Tottenham

Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Tottenham

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in South Tottenham

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

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for South Tottenham

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your N15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.
