Bath re-enamelling in Broxbourne

Bath re-enamelling in Broxbourne, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Questions from Broxbourne

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common problems we fix in Broxbourne

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Common reasons people in Broxbourne contact us include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Broxbourne and want a price, 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.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EN10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
