Bath re-enamelling at your home in Great Chesterford
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
