How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shooter's Hill
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common problems we fix in Shooter's Hill
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Wear marks under the taps

FAQs for Shooter's Hill
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
