Bath re-enamelling at your home in St Osyth

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Osyth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When to call us in St Osyth

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Osyth

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
