Bath Re-enamelling for Apsley homes
Damaged bath in Apsley? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Apsley
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Apsley
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Apsley contact us are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Landlord and trade work in Apsley
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Apsley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Apsley: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you work in Apsley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Apsley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
