Repairing versus replacing in Hartley Wintney
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Hartley Wintney
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hartley Wintney?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
