Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hawkes End
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Hawkes End: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hawkes End
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
