Bath re-enamelling in Radwell, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Radwell as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Radwell
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Radwell?
We do. Technicians travel to Radwell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Radwell?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
