About our bath re-enamelling in Hemingby
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Hemingby: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hemingby
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
