Bath re-enamelling in East Law, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in East Law?
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

East Law: your questions answered
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in East Law.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
How the visit 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 will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
We do not 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.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
