Bath re-enamelling in West Hanningfield, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in West Hanningfield get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

West Hanningfield: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you cover West Hanningfield?

We do. Repair technicians travel to West Hanningfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
