How we handle bath re-enamelling in Theydon Garnon
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Theydon Garnon and across Essex.

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Common problems we fix in Theydon Garnon
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Theydon Garnon: your questions answered
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Theydon Garnon and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
