Bath re-enamelling at your home in Germiston
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we are called out for in Germiston
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
If you are in Germiston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Germiston
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you cover the entire of the Orkney Islands?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are there extra charges for Germiston?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Germiston

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
