Bath re-enamelling for Willesden homes

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

About our bath re-enamelling in Willesden

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Repairing versus replacing in Willesden

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

Common questions in Willesden

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
