Bath re-enamelling in Shenfield, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
