Bath re-enamelling near Vauxhall

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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 generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Bath re-enamelling in Vauxhall, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Vauxhall

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Vauxhall

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Vauxhall

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

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.
