About our bath re-enamelling in Paddington
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Paddington
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Paddington. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

Advice
Questions from Paddington
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
