How we handle bath re-enamelling in Braiswick
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Common questions in Braiswick
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Braiswick?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Braiswick and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Braiswick. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Braiswick, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
