Bath Re-enamelling in Little Baddow
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Little Baddow, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Little Baddow 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. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches

FAQs for Little Baddow
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
