Bath re-enamelling in Bow Common, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Common problems we fix in Bow Common
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Bow Common contact us are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions from Bow Common
Do you come to Bow Common?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bow Common. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I fix it myself?
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 is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
