When to call us in Royal Docks
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Royal Docks, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Common questions in Royal Docks
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you work in Royal Docks?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Royal Docks. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
