Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Street
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Street
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Street use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When to call us in South Street
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches

Not far away are Blackcap and Malling Down.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including South Street. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. 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 price.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
