Bath re-enamelling near Stoke Newington

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Stoke Newington

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

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

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Stoke Newington questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Repair or replace in Stoke Newington?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Stoke Newington

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Stoke Newington. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Stoke Newington, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
