Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Headstone, Greater London

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Headstone
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Headstone
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Headstone. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Headstone and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Headstone questions
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you come to Headstone?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Headstone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
