About our bath re-enamelling in West End
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West End
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
FAQs for West End
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in West End, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
