Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sacombe
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually 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. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Sacombe questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sacombe?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
