Bath re-enamelling at your home in Charlton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Charlton questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Charlton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
When to call us in Charlton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
