Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hart Common
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- 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.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common problems we fix in Hart Common
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stains that will not shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hart Common
Are there extra charges for Hart Common?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Hart Common?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hart Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
