Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Great Wakering without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Great Wakering and across Southend-on-Sea.

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Wakering. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Great Wakering?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Great Wakering, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
