Bath re-enamelling at your home in Loudwater
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
When to call us in Loudwater
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Loudwater questions
Do you cover Loudwater?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Loudwater and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Loudwater?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Should you replace it?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
