Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in St Albans, Hertfordshire
Local bath re-enamelling for St Albans: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
About our bath re-enamelling in St Albans
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in St Albans
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

- Wear marks under the taps

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
