What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Bath re-enamelling in Balstonia without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Balstonia
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Thurrock and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface 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.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
