How we handle bath re-enamelling in Harold Wood
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Harold Wood
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Harold Wood
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. 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.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Harold Wood?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
