Bath re-enamelling at your home in Deacon's Hill
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Deacon's Hill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Deacon's Hill?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you come to Deacon's Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Deacon's Hill and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For a price in Deacon's Hill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace in Deacon's Hill?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Deacon's Hill clients choose us
