Bath re-enamelling in Easthorpe, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Easthorpe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Easthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in Easthorpe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We work UK-wide, so Easthorpe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Easthorpe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Easthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
