How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Ilford
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we are called out for in Little Ilford
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your E12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

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 hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
