Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Tilbury
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

East Tilbury: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover East Tilbury?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to East Tilbury from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in East Tilbury?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace in East Tilbury?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
