About our bath re-enamelling in Hardwick Wood
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S42 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What affects the price in Hardwick Wood
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repairing versus replacing in Hardwick Wood
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hardwick Wood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
