Bath re-enamelling in Canvey Island, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Canvey Island

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
