About our bath re-enamelling in Tower Hamlets

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Tower Hamlets. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tower Hamlets?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Tower Hamlets: your questions answered

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Tower Hamlets?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you come to Tower Hamlets?

We do. We send a technician to Tower Hamlets for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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