Bath re-enamelling in Hernhill without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Hernhill questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Hernhill is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you cover Hernhill?

What affects the price in Hernhill
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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 price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Hernhill
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hernhill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
