How we handle bath re-enamelling in High Ongar
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

What affects the price in High Ongar
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including High Ongar. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in High Ongar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in High Ongar?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- Aftercare advice

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
