How we handle bath re-enamelling in Clerkenwell
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Clerkenwell questions
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Clerkenwell. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
