Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Havering-atte-Bower, Essex
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Havering-atte-Bower, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Havering-atte-Bower
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
There is 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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 it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
