About our bath re-enamelling in Wheathampstead
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Wheathampstead
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no 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.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
