Bath re-enamelling in Southfields without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first 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.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Southfields
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
Southfields: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Southfields?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Repairing versus replacing in Southfields
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Southfields. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Southfields, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What else we do in Southfields
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
