How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bath re-enamelling in Sydenham, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When to call us in Sydenham
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

Sydenham questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sydenham?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Repairing versus replacing in Sydenham
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why Sydenham clients choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sydenham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
