Bath re-enamelling in West Heath without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around West Heath, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Heath

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover West Heath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Heath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens next?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
