Bath re-enamelling in Sleapshyde without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sleapshyde and across Hertfordshire.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What we’re called out for in Sleapshyde
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Sleapshyde and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

FAQs for Sleapshyde
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Sleapshyde is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in Sleapshyde?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sleapshyde. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
