How we handle bath re-enamelling in West End
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from West End
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
