Bath re-enamelling in Prittlewell, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Prittlewell and across Southend-on-Sea.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
When to call us in Prittlewell
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Prittlewell
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Prittlewell
