How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pleshey
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pleshey and across Essex.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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 until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pleshey?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Pleshey: your questions answered
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Can I get a quote without a visit?
