Bath re-enamelling in New Cross, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in New Cross
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What else we do in New Cross
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, 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.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
