What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brickendon
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Brickendon
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Brickendon
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Brickendon contact us are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brickendon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Brickendon

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
