Bath re-enamelling at your home in North Finchley
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common questions in North Finchley
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your N12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in North Finchley
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Landlord and trade work in North Finchley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
