Bath Re-enamelling in London

Bath re-enamelling in London without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains and limescale marks that are etched in and lots of chips across the bath.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in London as everywhere else we work. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for London

Do I need to be at home?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What guarantee do I get?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up when we finish.

Repairing versus replacing in London

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in London

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits. A rough surface traps dirt and stains easily, and cleaning only makes it worse.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A previous resurfacing that is peeling
  • Stains and limescale marks that are etched in
  • Dull, rough enamel that won’t come clean
  • Worn patches under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
