How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bromley Common
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bromley Common. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Bromley Common
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Repair or replace in Bromley Common?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bromley Common?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
