Bath re-enamelling in Ballingdon Bottom without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Ballingdon Bottom
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Ballingdon Bottom questions
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ballingdon Bottom?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you come to Ballingdon Bottom?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ballingdon Bottom and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
