Bath re-enamelling at your home in South Mimms
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What else we do in South Mimms
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in South Mimms
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
