For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fuller Street use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Bath re-enamelling in Fuller Street without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Advice
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What we’re called out for in Fuller Street
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
