When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
About our bath re-enamelling in Mile End
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole bath

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Mile End questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlord and trade work in Mile End
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we are called out for in Mile End
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Common reasons people in Mile End contact us include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that won’t shift
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why Mile End clients choose us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
