Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hartgrove
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hartgrove
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
