Bath re-enamelling at your home in Harrow
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Harrow, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Harrow
- Pressed steel baths

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
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
