How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kingston
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kingston
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Kingston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Kingston included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Kingston?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
