What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chickney
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairing versus replacing in Chickney
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chickney
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
