Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Pilgrims Hatch, Essex

- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pilgrims Hatch
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Pilgrims Hatch questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you come to Pilgrims Hatch?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Pilgrims Hatch. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

What else we do in Pilgrims Hatch
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
