The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chigwell Row
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What else we do in Chigwell Row
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Chigwell Row
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
