About our bath re-enamelling in Bow Street
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What affects the price in Bow Street
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bow Street: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
