Do you need bath re-enamelling in St James's?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
Bath re-enamelling in St James's without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in St James's and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
