Bath re-enamelling at your home in Appspond
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Appspond
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Appspond?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AL2 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AL2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
