Bath re-enamelling in West End Green without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

FAQs for West End Green

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in West End Green

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West End Green. 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 quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
