Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shepherd's Bush
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What affects the price in Shepherd's Bush
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
When to call us in Shepherd's Bush
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone

- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Shepherd's Bush questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
