Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Swan Street
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
