Bath re-enamelling in Stanstead Abbotts without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Stanstead Abbotts?

Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stanstead Abbotts?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
