About our bath re-enamelling in Walthamstow Village

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Repairing versus replacing in Walthamstow Village

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Walthamstow Village clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Walthamstow Village?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Walthamstow Village questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
