Common questions in Forest Gate
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Forest Gate?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
About our bath re-enamelling in Forest Gate
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What we are called out for in Forest Gate
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Forest Gate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
