Bath re-enamelling for Sulham homes

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Bath re-enamelling in Sulham without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sulham?

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

Common reasons people in Sulham contact us are:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

What affects the price in Sulham

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Sulham

Are there extra charges for Sulham?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you cover Sulham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sulham and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
