Trusted bath re-enamelling in Stroud Green

About our bath re-enamelling in Stroud Green

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stroud Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Stroud Green. The price comes down to:

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

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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath

If you are in Stroud Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Stroud Green: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Stroud Green?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Stroud Green

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
