Bath re-enamelling in New Eltham without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for New Eltham
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
