Bath re-enamelling in Ivy Hatch without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ivy Hatch
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Ivy Hatch
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ivy Hatch
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ivy Hatch. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Ivy Hatch, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
