Bath re-enamelling in Coopersale, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Coopersale and across Essex.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Coopersale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When to call us in Coopersale
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Coopersale. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
