Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Halstead
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Halstead: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
