How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chalk Farm
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Chalk Farm. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chalk Farm. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chalk Farm?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Chalk Farm
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Chalk Farm.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
