The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

About our bath re-enamelling in Hempsted

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hempsted
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
