Bath re-enamelling in Tiptree, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tiptree. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Tiptree
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
