About our bath re-enamelling in Hertford
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Hertford
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hertford, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we are called out for in Hertford
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before you book anyone

FAQs for Hertford
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
