Bath re-enamelling at your home in Aldenham
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldenham
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldenham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Aldenham 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.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Aldenham

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Aldenham
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Aldenham.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
