How we handle bath re-enamelling in Canonbury
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Canonbury questions
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we’re called out for in Canonbury
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Canonbury customers choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
