Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Waltham Abbey, Essex
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Waltham Abbey, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.

- An old resurfacing that is failing
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waltham Abbey
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Waltham Abbey
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to Waltham Abbey?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Waltham Abbey from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Waltham Abbey?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waltham Abbey
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waltham Abbey as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
