Bath re-enamelling in New Southgate, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What we cannot put right

- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for New Southgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace in New Southgate?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Common questions in New Southgate
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in New Southgate?
We do. We send a technician to New Southgate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
