Hart questions
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hart.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repairing versus replacing in Hart
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?

Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
