For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around East Village, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in East Village
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
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 and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in East Village
Do you come to East Village?
We do. We send a technician to East Village for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
