About our bath re-enamelling in Silvertown
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Silvertown?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Silvertown
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Silvertown questions
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
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. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
