Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rochford
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.
What affects the price in Rochford
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Rochford. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Rochford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

The process

- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rochford
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rochford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we’re called out for in Rochford
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairing versus replacing in Rochford
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
