Bath re-enamelling in Hempstead, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hempstead and across Medway.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Hempstead questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hempstead. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit.
