About our bath re-enamelling in Tulse Hill

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Tulse Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. 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. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Tulse Hill: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

When to call us in Tulse Hill

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
