Bath re-enamelling in Roydon, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Roydon
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Roydon get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Roydon
For anyone letting property in or around Roydon, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roydon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roydon: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Roydon. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repairing versus replacing in Roydon
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
