What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling in South Bank, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

South Bank questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to South Bank?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to South Bank and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
South Bank and the surrounding area
South Bank is about 1 mile west of London, in Greater London. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. South Bank is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Postcode districts we cover here: SE1, WC2E and WC2N. From York Road, Spur Road and Lower Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Main roads around South Bank include the A301 and A302, which makes travel easy.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in South Bank

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour-matched on site

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
