About our bath re-enamelling in North Shoebury
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
