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

About our bath re-enamelling in Hinxworth
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hinxworth
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Hinxworth: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Hinxworth
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
