Bath re-enamelling in Hemingford Abbots, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
FAQs for Hemingford Abbots
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: 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 typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
