Bath Re-enamelling in Clacton-on-Sea

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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 what we repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Clacton-on-Sea, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
