How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in St Denys without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in St Denys?

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

St Denys questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO17 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
