Bath re-enamelling in Hitchin without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Hitchin questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hitchin?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG4 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Repairing versus replacing in Hitchin
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hitchin. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
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.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
