About our bath re-enamelling in Plaistow
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Advice
What affects the price in Plaistow
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
