What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in St Paul's Walden without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Paul's Walden as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in St Paul's Walden
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including St Paul's Walden. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
St Paul's Walden: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Paul's Walden as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in St Paul's Walden
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, 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.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
