Bath re-enamelling in Hempstead without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Hempstead
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hempstead
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hempstead?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hempstead use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
