What your bath is made of matters
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.
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 is what we repair.
About our bath re-enamelling in Watford
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Watford

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
