What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hampstead

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Hampstead

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Different materials, different repairs

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 the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hampstead

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

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.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hampstead?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
