Bath re-enamelling in Middle Herrington without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we are called out for in Middle Herrington
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350.

- One visit for most repairs

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Middle Herrington
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
