DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: 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.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckhurst Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Buckhurst Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
