Bath re-enamelling in Mashbury, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Mashbury and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common questions in Mashbury
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Advice
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
