About our bath re-enamelling in Farringdon
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Farringdon questions
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Farringdon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
