About our bath re-enamelling in Wapping
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Wapping. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350.
