Bath re-enamelling in Kensington without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, 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 are paying for.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Kensington
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What affects the price in Kensington
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kensington. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kensington?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
