Bath re-enamelling at your home in Merton
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Repairing versus replacing in Merton
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Common questions in Merton
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Merton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Merton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Merton and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
