Bath re-enamelling in Great Baddow, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Questions from Great Baddow
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Great Baddow?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
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 we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Great Baddow, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
