Bath re-enamelling in Gallows Green, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gallows Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Questions from Gallows Green
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gallows Green?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Gallows Green
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Most customers in Gallows Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
