When to call us in Durley Street
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Durley Street, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Durley Street
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from Durley Street
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Durley Street?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SO32 postcode.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
