Bath re-enamelling at your home in Audley End
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Audley End questions
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Audley End
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Audley End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
