Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Colney Butts, Hertfordshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Colney Butts, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Colney Butts
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Colney Butts.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Generally one visit, start to finish
