About our bath re-enamelling in Puckeridge
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why Puckeridge customers choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What else we do in Puckeridge
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in Puckeridge
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Puckeridge
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Puckeridge
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
