What affects the price in Chafford Hundred
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Chafford Hundred, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 we are called out for in Chafford Hundred
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Chafford Hundred contact us are:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
