Bath re-enamelling in Rush Green, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rush Green?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rush Green

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rush Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Rush Green

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
