How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Walden
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Little Walden
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common problems we fix in Little Walden
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
