Bath re-enamelling in West Silvertown without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in West Silvertown

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Silvertown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in West Silvertown
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
