Bath re-enamelling for The Hyde homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in The Hyde

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in The Hyde and across Greater London.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in The Hyde

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

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’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
