Bath re-enamelling in Great Dunmow without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Dunmow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Great Dunmow get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Dunmow
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Great Dunmow
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Great Dunmow and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
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.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Great Dunmow
- Pressed steel baths

- Victorian roll-tops

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it
