Bath re-enamelling in Cassiobury, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Cassiobury
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

- How the room is protected while they work

Cassiobury: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
