Bath re-enamelling in West End

Bath re-enamelling in West End without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

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

FAQs for West End

Will it make a mess?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in West End.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West End

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in West End

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

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in West End

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for West End. The price reflects:

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

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
