Bath re-enamelling in Tiptree Heath without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Tiptree Heath
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tiptree Heath?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tiptree Heath as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
