About our bath re-enamelling in Leaden Roding

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Leaden Roding?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Leaden Roding

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common problems we fix in Leaden Roding

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
