Bath re-enamelling in Joppa without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
FAQs for Joppa
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

When to call us in Joppa

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Advice
Also in Joppa
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
