The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Herne Common, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herne Common as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common questions in Herne Common
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
