How we handle bath re-enamelling in Radley Green
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Radley Green
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Questions from Radley Green
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Radley Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
