Bath re-enamelling for Woodham Ferrers homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodham Ferrers

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Woodham Ferrers questions

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM3 postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

Do you come to Woodham Ferrers?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Woodham Ferrers. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Woodham Ferrers

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodham Ferrers. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Woodham Ferrers get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woodham Ferrers. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Woodham Ferrers, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
