Bath re-enamelling in Tyburn, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Tyburn

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tyburn

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.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tyburn?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tyburn

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Tyburn

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Tyburn clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tyburn?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
