Bath re-enamelling at your home in Isle of Dogs

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Isle of Dogs as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Isle of Dogs, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Isle of Dogs clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Isle of Dogs: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Isle of Dogs?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Isle of Dogs, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
