Bath re-enamelling at your home in Surrex
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Surrex
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Everywhere in the UK, Surrex included. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Surrex get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Surrex?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Surrex, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
