Bath re-enamelling in West Ealing without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

West Ealing: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in West Ealing.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in West Ealing?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in West Ealing, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in West Ealing
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Ealing?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in West Ealing contact us are:
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
