Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barnsbury
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Barnsbury
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Barnsbury
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Barnsbury, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barnsbury
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Barnsbury?
We do. Technicians travel to Barnsbury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Barnsbury
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barnsbury
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
