Bath re-enamelling in Staines Green, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Staines Green and across Hertfordshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid suction-cup mats
Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Staines Green

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Thin, worn enamel in places
A coloured bath you want in white
Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What your quote should include

A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Who will actually do the work
How your room will be protected
How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Holes rusted through the metal
Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Staines Green

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
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.
