Bath re-enamelling near Stratford

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stratford

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Stratford

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stratford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

FAQs for Stratford

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we’re 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.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Stratford

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
