Bath re-enamelling near Walworth

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Bath re-enamelling in Walworth, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Walworth and across Greater London.

Questions from Walworth

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you come to Walworth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Walworth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

Will the bath be moved?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Walworth

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What we’re called out for in Walworth

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Repairing versus replacing in Walworth

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
