Bath re-enamelling at your home in Broomfield
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Broomfield
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What affects the price in Broomfield
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
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.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Broomfield get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Broomfield
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
For a price in Broomfield, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
