How we handle bath re-enamelling in Theydon Bois
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Theydon Bois. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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 is what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Theydon Bois. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What else we do in Theydon Bois
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Theydon Bois questions
Are there extra charges for Theydon Bois?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Theydon Bois?

Look out for any of the following:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
