Bath re-enamelling in Mistley, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mistley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Mistley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace in Mistley?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Mistley. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Mistley questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you come to Mistley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mistley and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Mistley?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You don’t 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
