Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hardley Street
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hardley Street
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hardley Street
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Hardley Street questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
