- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Great Cornard
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Great Cornard: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Great Cornard and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Great Cornard
For anyone letting property in or around Great Cornard, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
