Bath re-enamelling in Lea Valley, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lea Valley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Questions from Lea Valley
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you cover Lea Valley?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lea Valley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lea Valley?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lea Valley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
