Bath re-enamelling in Chelsea without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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 often lifts.
About Chelsea
Chelsea is about 2 miles south-east of Kensington, in Greater London. Our repair technicians come to homes and businesses in Chelsea and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Chelsea is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.

What affects the price in Chelsea
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Chelsea get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit

What we’re called out for in Chelsea
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
Chelsea: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Chelsea.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chelsea
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
