Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hatfield Peverel
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Hatfield Peverel
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Common problems we fix in Hatfield Peverel
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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 what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlord and trade work in Hatfield Peverel
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hatfield Peverel. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
