Bath re-enamelling in Canonmills without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Common questions in Canonmills
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Are there extra charges for Canonmills?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Canonmills?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
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 pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Canonmills, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
