Bath Re-enamelling for Shoreditch homes
Bath re-enamelling in Shoreditch without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Shoreditch
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Shoreditch
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Common questions in Shoreditch

Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens after I send pictures?

How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What else we do in Shoreditch
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Shoreditch. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Shoreditch get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
