Trusted bath re-enamelling in East End

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in East End, done in place

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Landlord and trade work in East End

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Common problems we fix in East End

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in East End contact us include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

East End: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in East End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in East End and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
