Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Hampstead
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
South Hampstead questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you come to South Hampstead?
We do. Technicians travel to South Hampstead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we’re called out for in South Hampstead
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Hampstead
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
