Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Becontree: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Becontree?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RM9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Becontree?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
