How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Islington
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
New Islington questions
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the new finish last?
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.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What else we do in New Islington
Do you need bath re-enamelling in New Islington?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Stains that will not shift
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in New Islington
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in New Islington
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in New Islington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
