Bath Re-enamelling for Hartlip homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Hartlip, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Hartlip, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartlip
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Hartlip, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hartlip
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hartlip, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Questions from Hartlip
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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 affects the price in Hartlip
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hartlip. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hartlip. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
