Common questions in Teddington
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Teddington?
We do. Technicians travel to Teddington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
About our bath re-enamelling in Teddington
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What we are called out for in Teddington
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Landlord and trade work in Teddington
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
