How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Pancras

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in St Pancras

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in St Pancras

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in St Pancras

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
