Bath Re-enamelling in Charltons
We travel to Charltons for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Charltons

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Landlord and trade work in Charltons
Hospitality businesses cannot 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Common questions in Charltons
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
