Bath Re-enamelling for Parkeston homes
Problem with your bath in Parkeston? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Parkeston
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

FAQs for Parkeston
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover Parkeston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Parkeston and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Parkeston. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
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.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
