Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Becontree Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Becontree Heath
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
When to call us in Becontree Heath
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Does the bath have to be removed?

Is there a call-out fee?
