When to call us in South Ockendon
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RM15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

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 gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around South Ockendon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
