Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brockley Whins
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Brockley Whins questions
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Brockley Whins?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE34 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
