About our bath re-enamelling in Croydon
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in Croydon
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Croydon
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Croydon
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Croydon
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Croydon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Common problems we fix in Croydon
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
