Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Hartland without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. 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.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Hartland: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Are there extra charges for Hartland?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Hartland
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
