Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lambeth
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lambeth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lambeth?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What else we do in Lambeth
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lambeth
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lambeth?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What affects the price in Lambeth
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
