How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Mersea
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Mersea use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common problems we fix in West Mersea
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

- The material

Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Common questions in West Mersea
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in West Mersea?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
