Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kings Cross
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

FAQs for Kings Cross
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Kings Cross. Prices do not change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NW1W postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
