Bath Re-enamelling in Limehouse
Problem with your bath in Limehouse? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Limehouse
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Limehouse
Are there extra charges for Limehouse?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace in Limehouse?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
