How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Islington. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Islington
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Islington?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
