Bath re-enamelling in West Hardwick, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in West Hardwick

- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

When to call us in West Hardwick
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Common reasons people in West Hardwick contact us are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Common questions in West Hardwick
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in West Hardwick?
We do. We send a technician to West Hardwick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for West Hardwick?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
