About our bath re-enamelling in Southall

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Southall

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Southall. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What we’re called out for in Southall

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Southall

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
