How we handle bath re-enamelling in Great Lea Common
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Great Lea Common
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Great Lea Common questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG7 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Great Lea Common

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
