What happens on the day

- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

- Have a window or extractor fan available

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What affects the price in Hexton
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hexton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hexton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hexton
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
