Bath re-enamelling in Wimbledon without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wimbledon?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wimbledon
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
