Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Clapton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended

What else we do in Clapton
Repairing versus replacing in Clapton
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Clapton
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Questions from Clapton
Do you cover Clapton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Clapton and the rest of West Berkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Clapton.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
