Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hull

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

What we are called out for in Hull

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Can I fix it myself?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Hull

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you cover Hull?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hull. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
