Bath re-enamelling in Upper Norwood without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us

Common questions in Upper Norwood
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Upper Norwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Norwood and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
