About our bath re-enamelling in Swiss Cottage
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.

What else we do in Swiss Cottage
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Swiss Cottage
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Swiss Cottage?
We do. We send a technician to Swiss Cottage for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Common problems we fix in Swiss Cottage
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swiss Cottage use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Swiss Cottage, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Swiss Cottage and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
