Bath re-enamelling near Patchetts Green

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Patchetts Green, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

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 what we repair.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Patchetts Green?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WD25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Patchetts Green questions

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Are there extra charges for Patchetts Green?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Patchetts Green customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
