Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths

Landlord and trade work in Crystal Palace
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What else we do in Crystal Palace
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Crystal Palace. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
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 the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
FAQs for Crystal Palace
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Crystal Palace. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you cover Crystal Palace?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Crystal Palace. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
