Do you need bath re-enamelling in Staple Tye?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Bath re-enamelling in Staple Tye without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Staple Tye and across Essex.

FAQs for Staple Tye
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Staple Tye?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Staple Tye?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Staple Tye. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 the part we put right.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
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. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Staple Tye, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
