Bath re-enamelling at your home in New Hartley
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps

What affects the price in New Hartley
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in New Hartley
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in New Hartley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
