Bath re-enamelling in Heron Cross without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heron Cross as everywhere else we work.

Heron Cross: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Other services in Heron Cross
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Heron Cross?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Heron Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Heron Cross and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
