Bath re-enamelling in Northdown, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Northdown?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Northdown
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Northdown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Northdown. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
