Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bramfield, Hertfordshire
Problem with your bath in Bramfield? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently 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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bramfield
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. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
We don’t add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Bramfield, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landmarks near Bramfield

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bramfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Bramfield
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Bramfield: your questions answered
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bramfield?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SG14 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
