DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gambles Green
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Gambles Green
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
FAQs for Gambles Green
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 is what we repair.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
