About our bath re-enamelling in Chandler's Cross
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chandler's Cross
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
