How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mapesbury
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Mapesbury
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
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 often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mapesbury, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Mapesbury questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Mapesbury?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
