About our bath re-enamelling in Ealing
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Ealing
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
FAQs for Ealing
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you come to Ealing?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ealing for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
