Trusted bath re-enamelling in Upton Park

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Bath re-enamelling in Upton Park, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Upton Park

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton Park use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

Common problems we fix in Upton Park

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What affects the price in Upton Park

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Upton Park, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Upton Park

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Upton Park. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
