How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wallington
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

FAQs for Wallington
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wallington?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Wallington?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the whole UK

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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
