Bath re-enamelling at your home in Southdown
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Southdown questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Southdown?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
