Great Notley questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Notley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Great Notley?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Common reasons people in Great Notley contact us are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Notley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
