How we handle bath re-enamelling in Green Street
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Green Street and across Essex.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Green Street. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Green Street
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Green Street
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work in Green Street?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Green Street and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Green Street included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
