Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tyttenhanger
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Tyttenhanger
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Tyttenhanger
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Repair or replace in Tyttenhanger?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your photos

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
