Bath re-enamelling at your home in Heronden
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Heronden questions
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
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.
Common problems we fix in Heronden
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
