Bath re-enamelling in Holtsmere End without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Holtsmere End: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Holtsmere End?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
When to call us in Holtsmere End
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holtsmere End as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
