What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Lindsell, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

What we are called out for in Lindsell
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Lindsell. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Also in Lindsell
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lindsell
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you come to Lindsell?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lindsell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
