Bath re-enamelling in London Colney without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in London Colney
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Are there extra charges for London Colney?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including London Colney. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for London Colney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in London Colney, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- 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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
