Bath re-enamelling in Royston without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
