Bath re-enamelling in Great Burstead, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Great Burstead
Do you work in Great Burstead?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Great Burstead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
