FAQs for Kennington
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Kennington?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kennington
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kennington
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kennington. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlord and trade work in Kennington
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
