Bath re-enamelling for Saffron Walden homes

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Bath re-enamelling in Saffron Walden, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Saffron Walden. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Saffron Walden, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 frequently lifts.

Questions from Saffron Walden

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Saffron Walden

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Saffron Walden

For anyone letting property in or around Saffron Walden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saffron Walden use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
