How we handle bath re-enamelling in Clapham
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Clapham: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Common problems we fix in Clapham
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

Related advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Clapham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
