Bath re-enamelling in Coleman Green without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Coleman Green: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t 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 tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
