About our bath re-enamelling in St Katherines
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in St Katherines
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Katherines use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
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 the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in St Katherines
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to St Katherines. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
