How we handle bath re-enamelling in Walthew Green

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

The process

Your technician turns 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. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WN8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Walthew Green

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Walthew Green: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Walthew Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Walthew Green. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Landlord and trade work in Walthew Green

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walthew Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Walthew Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace in Walthew Green?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
