Bath re-enamelling in Hanningfield Green, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hanningfield Green, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hanningfield Green. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hanningfield Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hanningfield Green: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
