- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Writtle. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Writtle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Writtle
Are there extra charges for Writtle?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Writtle
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive

- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs
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 what we repair.
