Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Widford
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Widford and across Hertfordshire.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
FAQs for Widford
Are there extra charges for Widford?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Widford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Widford.
