Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in New Addington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in New Addington
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to New Addington. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths

Common questions in New Addington
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Repairing versus replacing in New Addington
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
