How we handle bath re-enamelling in Howick Cross
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Howick Cross: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Howick Cross.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Howick Cross
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
