Bath Re-enamelling in Great Waltham
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Great Waltham and across Essex. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Bath re-enamelling in Great Waltham, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Great Waltham
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Great Waltham: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Great Waltham?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
