Bath re-enamelling in St John's Wood without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in St John's Wood
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

St John's Wood: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you work in St John's Wood?
We do. We send a technician to St John's Wood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What affects the price in St John's Wood
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in St John's Wood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
