Bath re-enamelling at your home in Joyden's Wood
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Joyden's Wood
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Joyden's Wood. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we are called out for in Joyden's Wood
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
