How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pitsea
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Pitsea. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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’s what we repair.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pitsea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
