Landlords, agents and businesses in Rooks Nest
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rooks Nest as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rooks Nest
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Rooks Nest
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
What affects the price in Rooks Nest
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Questions from Rooks Nest
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Rooks Nest?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Rooks Nest and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
