South Woodham Ferrers: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Bath re-enamelling in South Woodham Ferrers without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in South Woodham Ferrers
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Woodham Ferrers
If you manage property in South Woodham Ferrers, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Woodham Ferrers?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
