Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Great Saling
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and several chips and rust patches, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Great Saling. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Saling, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Great Saling

People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Great Saling
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you come to Great Saling?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Saling and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
