  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Heronsgate

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Heronsgate?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Heronsgate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Heronsgate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we are called out for in Heronsgate

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
