Bath resurfacing in London costs anywhere between £425-700 pounds to actually do the job properly

The cost to re-enamel a bathtub varies from company to company.

There are quite a few factors we take into consideration when giving a quote. Where you are, to determine the travelling time. What type of bath is it? Has the bath been worked on before? Do you want it a specific colour ? How badly damaged is the bath ? Has the bath been re-enamelled before causing us to have to repair and remove the previous enamel before we can start our job. All of these are factors in deciding upon a price

Once we have gotten the data above and other similar questions we then give you a free quote based on that.

There are different types of baths too. You have a boxed in bath with a bath panel on the side. This is the usual bath you see in most households.  You have a Victorian Bath which is a Roll Top Bath with the feet, it’s a free standing bath not fitted into the corner of the bathroom.

We have found that many of our customers didn’t want to go through the headache of removing the old bath. In the process of removing the bath you could damage the tiles, scratch the painted walls. A bath or shower tray is quite firmly placed and isn’t the easiest to remove without causing trouble to the rest of the room. You also don’t have to hire a plumber to take out the old bath and put in the new bath. 

To avoid redoing part of the tiles and paint work and hiring a plumber many choose to get the bath resurfaced right where it is at a fraction of the cost.

Yes, tub resurfacing is carried out at your home on site. In this way you don’t rip out the bath and destroy the tiles, plumbing etc. You would run the risk of damaging the tiles and paintwork around the bath.

We cover with dust sheets the floor, sink, toilet and all surfaces in the bathroom so everything is protected.

We mask the wall and surrounding areas with masking paper which protects the tiles and surrounding areas from the enamel spray.

If the bath has been worked on before, we in many cases will have to strip back the enamel surface that was put on by another resurfacing company. 

Usually the bonding method they used was not strong enough. This will show up as flaking or cracking of the enamel or the enamel is coming off. We will have to remove that surface before we put ours on. Once the surface is removed we will then use two adhesion promotors before we put our new enamel surface on.

This is quite a messy job to do. We have done countless bath repairs like this. So we can also repair your bath!

The surface life lasts for about 10 years, in many cases longer.

Life span is important. A bath is like anything, over time there is wear and tear of the surface due to use. So you can’t expect it it to last forever. You’re probably on this website because your bath has become worn out and isn’t as pleasing to you as it once was.

We want a long lasting deep shine that is easy to clean. 

To achieve this it is necessary to pay particular attention to the effectiveness of the adhesion system. This is basically the sticking of our new surface to the original enamel

This involves using advanced materials that we have specially developed over the last 35 years and these go over the old surface before the new white enamel is applied.

The backbone of our continued success lies with our proven successful technology we created.

It has taken years of fine-tuning but we think we have got this enamel just right for your bath. It has got to look really good but also be highly durable and easy to clean. 

We apply it as thickly as possible, 3 to 4 coats. This tends to improve its durability by protecting the underlying bonding material.

We have tested this system against many others designed for the same purpose and have tweaked it to out-perform all others tested. Our expertise in this area and the recognition that this is the most workable system on the market has led us to become a supplier to many other bath re-enamelling companies across the UK.

What we try to do is provide the best possible job for you. This does not mean that we will be the cheapest bath resurfacing company. But we do the job properly! 

Embodied in this concept of a workable standard is the principle that enough is put into the job to reach this standard and our work is priced up to this standard rather than down to a price that undercuts a competitor and keeps us in business. My cheeky response to the haggler is, “What part of the procedure would you like me to leave out?”

We only see the repair kits that did not produce a satisfactory result – so we probably have a bias on this point – also we know the difference in quality between the use of a kit and what we can achieve. 

The kits tend to fall short in that the colour provided is usually too white so they look like a white patch. Some do have little tinters so that you can adjust the colour but that’s a really skilled task and it takes me quite a long time to train someone in this skill even with all the gear. We make up the colour for your fixture on site to match your fixture. 

This brings us to the next point. We carry about 80 things in our toolboxes to carry out this work whereas a kit will have perhaps five. 

When we go to put right a kit repair that is not good enough it is usually the case that the use of the kit has made the situation and the size of the repair much bigger. Inexperienced hands usually sand wide of the mark and use excessive coating requiring a lot of work to undo and this can add to the expense of the repair. 

It is necessary to be very discreet when doing a repair and to crop it down to the minimum. 

We also encounter situations where the kit filler came out soon after it was applied and this is because the list do not come with a bonding agent to secure the filler and the coating in place. We use our proprietary bonding agent minimally twice for any one repair. 

I think that a kit repair is only appropriate where a temporary patch up is needed because the unit is planned for replacement in the not to distant future or it’s for people who don’t really care that much about the appearance of the unit anyway. 

I guess this is the place where we need to blow our own trumpet. 

Although various operators in this business have come from our stable and we have been consulting other bath restoration businesses since the 80s we don’t know exactly what everyone else is doing, how they are doing it and what level of care they take in pleasing the customer. 

What we are fully aware of is our commitment to deliver the best results possible and to look after the customer in the best way we can. In this respect our fulfilment in doing jobs comes from the satisfaction of doing it to the best of our ability with no short cuts and skimping and seeing the customer impressed and really delighted with the results. While money changes hands as a consequence of this these factors just mentioned provide us with an additional exchange for the job – call it job satisfaction, self esteem or the feel good factor of a job well done and I think it’s these good old fashioned qualities that have kept us at the leading edge of this kind of work since 1985.
