About our bath re-enamelling in Kilburn
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Questions from Kilburn
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Kilburn included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kilburn?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Kilburn?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kilburn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilburn
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilburn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kilburn
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kilburn. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
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 are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Kilburn, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
