Bath re-enamelling in Wadesmill, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Wadesmill
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Wadesmill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
