Bath re-enamelling in Henham, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Henham
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common questions in Henham
Do you come to Henham?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Henham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Landlord and trade work in Henham
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
