How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hartwell
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Hartwell
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hartwell. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting.
