Bath re-enamelling in Redbridge without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Redbridge
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Redbridge questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
