Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bernards Heath
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bernards Heath
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
