Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

About our bath re-enamelling in Ardley End
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Ardley End
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What affects the price in Ardley End
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ardley End. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ardley End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays

Common questions in Ardley End
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
