How we handle bath re-enamelling in Covent Garden
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from Covent Garden
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Covent Garden?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Covent Garden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Covent Garden as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace in Covent Garden?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What affects the price in Covent Garden
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Covent Garden. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your W1F postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
