Bath re-enamelling in Latimer, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

When to call us in Latimer
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

FAQs for Latimer
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Latimer, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Latimer. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
