When to call us in North Mymms

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Bath re-enamelling in North Mymms without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for North Mymms. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

North Mymms questions

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Are there extra charges for North Mymms?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
