Bath re-enamelling in South Hornchurch without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every job is backed for twelve months in South Hornchurch and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos 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 we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit

- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Hornchurch?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
