Bath re-enamelling in Kingston without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Kingston
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
