Bath re-enamelling in Stebbing, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stebbing: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Stebbing
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
