Bath Re-enamelling in Widdington
Our technicians come to Widdington for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350

Bath re-enamelling in Widdington, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Widdington questions
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Widdington?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Widdington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Widdington?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
