Common questions in Elmdon
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Elmdon get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmdon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Elmdon

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Repairing versus replacing in Elmdon
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
