How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hempstead
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hempstead
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repair or replace in Hempstead?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
