Repairing versus replacing in Hackney
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Hackney, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
FAQs for Hackney
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hackney?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What else we do in Hackney
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
