Bath re-enamelling in Peckham, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Common questions in Peckham
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Peckham?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Peckham. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
