Bath re-enamelling near Bush Fair

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

About our bath re-enamelling in Bush Fair

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Bush Fair

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Bush Fair

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Bush Fair. Prices don’t change with location.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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.

Do you come to Bush Fair?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bush Fair and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths

When to call us in Bush Fair

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
