Bath re-enamelling for West Park homes

About our bath re-enamelling in West Park

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Every job is backed for twelve months in West Park and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in West Park

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why West Park customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in West Park

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

West Park questions

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you work in West Park?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What affects the price in West Park

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
