Landlord and trade work in Herne
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Herne
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Herne as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Herne. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

Repair or replace in Herne?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
