Bath re-enamelling at your home in Romney Street
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Romney Street: your questions answered
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Romney Street?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Romney Street?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Romney Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Romney Street
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
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’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Romney Street
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
Repairing versus replacing in Romney Street
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
