Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Sible Hedingham: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Sible Hedingham and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Landlord and trade work in Sible Hedingham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Common problems we fix in Sible Hedingham
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Sible Hedingham contact us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
