Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lamarsh

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Lamarsh

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lamarsh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CO8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Lamarsh

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lamarsh?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CO8 postcode.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lamarsh

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
