About our bath re-enamelling in Nazeing

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
