Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stratford

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Stratford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Bath re-enamelling in Stratford, done in place

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. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stratford as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Stratford

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Look out for these signs:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Stratford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stratford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
