Bath re-enamelling in Camberwell without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Camberwell as everywhere else we work.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Camberwell questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Camberwell?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
