Bath re-enamelling in Bestwood St Albans without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What else we do in Bestwood St Albans
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we’re called out for in Bestwood St Albans
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Bestwood St Albans, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bestwood St Albans questions
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Bestwood St Albans and the rest of Nottingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
