Bath re-enamelling near Chadwell St Mary

Bath re-enamelling in Chadwell St Mary, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Chadwell St Mary

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Chadwell St Mary: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

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.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Thurrock, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
