About Brentwood
Brentwood is about 19 miles north-east of London, in Essex. From the centre of Brentwood to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed quote, a tidy visit and a guarantee. We cover 644 places in Essex. We work right across the region, from Brentwood to London (about 19 miles away).
Our repair technicians cover all of CM13, CM14, CM15 and CM4. That includes homes on High Street, London Road and Old Church Road. Brentwood is on the A12 and A128, so it’s easy for us to reach. Nearby, we also work in Shenfield (1 mile north-east), Hutton Mount (1 mile east), Ingrave (2 miles south-east), Hutton (2 miles east) and Doddinghurst (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Chelmsford (11 miles north-east), Basildon (8 miles south-east), Harlow (13 miles north-west), Canvey Island (14 miles south-east), Billericay (5 miles east) and Rayleigh (13 miles east). As one of the bigger places in Essex, Brentwood is somewhere we visit often.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brentwood
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.
Common problems we fix in Brentwood
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Common questions in Brentwood
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Brentwood?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Brentwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Most clients in Brentwood get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brentwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Brentwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Brentwood. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
