Bath Re-enamelling for West Hanney homes
Our repair technicians come to West Hanney for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in West Hanney, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in West Hanney get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Hanney?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Common questions in West Hanney
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
