Elmers End: your questions answered
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Bath re-enamelling in Elmers End, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Elmers End and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Elmers End
What affects the price in Elmers End
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Elmers End. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What your bath is made of matters
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 is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
