Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kennington
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Kennington
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
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.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- 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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Kennington
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
