Bath re-enamelling in St Thomas', done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including St Thomas'. What changes the price is:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
