Bath re-enamelling at your home in Teddington

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Teddington questions

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you come to Teddington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Teddington and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Teddington

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TW11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
