About our bath re-enamelling in Hatfield Hyde
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
If you are in Hatfield Hyde and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Hatfield Hyde
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Are there extra charges for Hatfield Hyde?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
