About our bath re-enamelling in London Fields
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from London Fields
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in London Fields?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in London Fields as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we’re called out for in London Fields
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
