How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bow
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common questions in Bow
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
There’s 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 the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
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.
Advice
When to call us in Bow
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.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
