For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Hengrave
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Hengrave?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR9 postcode.

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hengrave, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
