Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
FAQs for Old Knebworth
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Old Knebworth?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Knebworth
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Old Knebworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
