About our bath re-enamelling in Redbridge

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Redbridge questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover Redbridge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Redbridge and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Repairing versus replacing in Redbridge

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

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. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Redbridge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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 the part we put right.
