About our bath re-enamelling in Forestdale
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Forestdale and across Greater London.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace in Forestdale?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place

What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Common problems we fix in Forestdale
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
If you manage property in Forestdale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common questions in Forestdale
Do you come to Forestdale?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Forestdale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Forestdale
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
