Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ayot St Peter
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, 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. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we’re called out for in Ayot St Peter
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
