Bath re-enamelling in Barbican Estate, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Barbican Estate
How long does re-enamelling 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 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 charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Barbican Estate
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

- A roll-top that’s seen better days
