Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bow, Greater London
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Bow, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bow
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bow?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

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

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bow as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
