Bath re-enamelling in The Willows, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in The Willows and across Hertfordshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The Willows questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in The Willows?
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What else we do in The Willows
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
