Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Roydon Hamlet, Essex

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Roydon Hamlet
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths

- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Roydon Hamlet
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
