Bath re-enamelling at your home in Amwell
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Amwell
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Amwell. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Amwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Amwell get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Amwell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Amwell
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlord and trade work in Amwell
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Amwell
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Amwell?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Amwell and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.
