Bath re-enamelling at your home in Crays Hill
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crays Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
For a price in Crays Hill, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
When to call us in Crays Hill
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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
Crays Hill questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlord and trade work in Crays Hill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
