Bath re-enamelling in Dedham without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What else we do in Dedham
Should you replace it?
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 much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dedham?
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Dedham questions
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Dedham?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What affects the price in Dedham
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Dedham. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
