Bath Re-enamelling for Borehamwood homes
Problem with your bath in Borehamwood? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Borehamwood without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Borehamwood
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Borehamwood?
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Borehamwood
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you cover Borehamwood?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Borehamwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
