Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Bath re-enamelling in Leigh-on-Sea without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Leigh-on-Sea: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you work in Leigh-on-Sea?
We do. We send a technician to Leigh-on-Sea for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Leigh-on-Sea
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Leigh-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
