We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in East Hanningfield

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in East Hanningfield

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

We work UK-wide, and that includes East Hanningfield. Prices don’t change with location.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What affects the price in East Hanningfield

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
