How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hertingfordbury

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hertingfordbury

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hertingfordbury?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Hertingfordbury?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hertingfordbury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hertingfordbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hertingfordbury

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: 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.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
