Bath re-enamelling in Wanstead, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in Wanstead
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- 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 typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Wanstead
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Wanstead, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wanstead
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Wanstead. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
