Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dedham Heath
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Dedham Heath?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Work done at your home or business

Landlord and trade work in Dedham Heath
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Common questions in Dedham Heath
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
Across the UK, and that includes Dedham Heath. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CO7 postcode.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Dedham Heath
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dedham Heath
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
