Bath re-enamelling in Little Gaddesden without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Little Gaddesden
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- 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 usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Little Gaddesden get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlord and trade work in Little Gaddesden
If you manage property in Little Gaddesden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
