Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath re-enamelling in Herdings without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking

- How long it needs to cure

- What protection goes down before work starts
Questions from Herdings
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
