Bath re-enamelling in Great Plumstead without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Great Plumstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Great Plumstead questions
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Great Plumstead.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Great Plumstead?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Great Plumstead. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Great Plumstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Great Plumstead?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
