What affects the price in Clothall
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Clothall
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Clothall
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white

Repair or replace in Clothall?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Clothall questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
