Bath Re-enamelling for Ickleford homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Ickleford, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath re-enamelling in Ickleford without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Common problems we fix in Ickleford
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Ickleford
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
