Bath re-enamelling in Hook's Cross without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hook's Cross and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Repair or replace in Hook's Cross?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Hook's Cross
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Hook's Cross
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
