Landlord and trade work in Debden
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
About our bath re-enamelling in Debden
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Debden and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Debden
Are there extra charges for Debden?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Debden and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
