About our bath re-enamelling in Northchurch
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Northchurch and across Hertfordshire.

Questions from Northchurch
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Northchurch. Prices do not change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northchurch
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Northchurch
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace in Northchurch?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
