How we handle bath re-enamelling in Belvedere
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Belvedere
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Belvedere
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Belvedere
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Belvedere
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

Repairing versus replacing in Belvedere
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DA17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
