About our bath re-enamelling in Northfield
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Northfield
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Northfield, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Northfield questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Northfield?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH8 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we’re called out for in Northfield
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
