DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Southgate
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Southgate. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Southgate
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why Southgate clients choose us
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Southgate
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH10 postcode.
