Bath re-enamelling in St Paul's, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Paul's and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

St Paul's: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in St Paul's?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

Lots of chips and rust spots
Thin, worn enamel in places
Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
A coloured bath you want in white

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What affects the price in St Paul's

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How much damage there is
How many items we do on one visit
How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Your postcode, so we can check dates
Details of any past repairs
One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in St Paul's

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Wash away dyes and oils after use
Store bottles off the bath
Never use suction bath mats
A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
