How we handle bath re-enamelling in Colchester Green
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
