Bath re-enamelling in Lea Bridge

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lea Bridge

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lea Bridge and across Greater London.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lea Bridge?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Lea Bridge

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
