Bath re-enamelling in Cressing, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cressing and across Essex.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cressing
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Cressing, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
