Putney questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Putney?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Putney
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Putney. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Putney
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When to call us in Putney
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
