About our bath re-enamelling in Southgate
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Southgate and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Southgate
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Southgate
Do you work in Southgate?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Southgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Southgate
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote

- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
