Bath re-enamelling in Botany Bay, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Botany Bay

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Botany Bay

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover Botany Bay?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Botany Bay and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EN2 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Botany Bay.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Common problems we fix in Botany Bay

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
