Bath re-enamelling in Epping Green

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

About our bath re-enamelling in Epping Green

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Epping Green

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

Repair or replace in Epping Green?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Epping Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When to call us in Epping Green

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Epping Green

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
