The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Queen Charlton
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Queen Charlton
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
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.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
