How we handle bath re-enamelling in Battlesbridge
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Battlesbridge and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Battlesbridge: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Battlesbridge included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Battlesbridge?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you work in Battlesbridge?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Battlesbridge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour-matched on site

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Battlesbridge

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
