Bath re-enamelling in Babbs Green without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Victorian roll-tops

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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.

Babbs Green questions
Do you cover Babbs Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Babbs Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlord and trade work in Babbs Green
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, then guarantee it for a year.
