Bath re-enamelling in Leyton

What we are called out for in Leyton

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Bath re-enamelling in Leyton, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Leyton

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Leyton.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Leyton?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
