Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Common problems we fix in West Hampstead
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to West Hampstead. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for West Hampstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
