Bath re-enamelling in West Kensington, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

West Kensington questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Kensington.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repairing versus replacing in West Kensington
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When to call us in West Kensington
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
