Bath re-enamelling for East Hamlet homes

About our bath re-enamelling in East Hamlet

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we’re called out for in East Hamlet

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Hamlet. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
