Bath re-enamelling in Baldock without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Baldock
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Baldock?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common problems we fix in Baldock
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Baldock contact us are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
