Bath re-enamelling in Maida Vale without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. 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.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Advice
Maida Vale questions
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
