Bath re-enamelling in Tilbury, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Tilbury
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Tilbury?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tilbury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RM18 postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tilbury
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we’re called out for in Tilbury
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
