What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common questions in Redbourn
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What affects the price in Redbourn
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
