How we handle bath re-enamelling in Debden
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When to call us in Debden
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Debden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Debden, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Debden
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
