About our bath re-enamelling in Takeley
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Takeley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Takeley?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
