About our bath re-enamelling in Doddinghurst
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Doddinghurst
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Doddinghurst: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Doddinghurst?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
