About our bath re-enamelling in Letchworth
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Letchworth and across Hertfordshire.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Letchworth
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common questions in Letchworth
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work in Letchworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Letchworth and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
