Bath re-enamelling in Temple Hill, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Temple Hill

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Are there extra charges for Temple Hill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Temple Hill?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  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
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Temple Hill clients choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your bath is made of matters

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’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Temple Hill 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.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Temple Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we’re called out for in Temple Hill

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
