Bath re-enamelling in Abbey Field 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. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can typically put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Abbey Field and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Abbey Field
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

For anyone letting property in or around Abbey Field, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
