What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
What we are called out for in Tollesbury
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Tollesbury: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tollesbury use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Tollesbury. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
