Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Great Tey, Essex
Our technicians come to Great Tey for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
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 pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
About our bath re-enamelling in Great Tey
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we’re called out for in Great Tey
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Questions from Great Tey
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are there extra charges for Great Tey?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
