How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Margarets
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What else we do in St Margarets
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in St Margarets
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around St Margarets, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including St Margarets. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in St Margarets, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
St Margarets: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, St Margarets included. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Repair or replace in St Margarets?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in St Margarets
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
