Bath re-enamelling in and around Grays: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grays
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
About our bath re-enamelling in Grays
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. We are often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grays. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
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 take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Questions from Grays
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Grays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What we are called out for in Grays
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
