FAQs for Hainault
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hainault?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Hainault?
We do. Technicians travel to Hainault from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Hainault, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
