Bath Re-enamelling for Lower Clapton homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Lower Clapton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Clapton
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lower Clapton and across Greater London.

FAQs for Lower Clapton
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Clapton?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
