Bath re-enamelling in Cheam without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Cheam, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common questions in Cheam
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cheam
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace in Cheam?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
