Bath re-enamelling near Mulberry Green

About our bath re-enamelling in Mulberry Green

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mulberry Green and across Essex.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mulberry Green?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Mulberry Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Mulberry Green questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Mulberry Green

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
