Bath re-enamelling at your home in Leytonstone
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on

Questions from Leytonstone
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
