Common problems we fix in Gaston Green
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Bath re-enamelling in Gaston Green without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Questions from Gaston Green
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I fix it myself?
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 frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
