What affects the price in Frinton-on-Sea
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Frinton-on-Sea. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
About our bath re-enamelling in Frinton-on-Sea
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Frinton-on-Sea and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- 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 pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that is rusted through
