How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bankside
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Bankside
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Bankside. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Bankside get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Bankside
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
