Bath re-enamelling at your home in Purfleet-on-Thames
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’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Purfleet-on-Thames as everywhere else we work.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Purfleet-on-Thames
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you cover the entire of Thurrock?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Purfleet-on-Thames. Prices don’t change with location.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Purfleet-on-Thames
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RM19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
