How we handle bath re-enamelling in Beaconhill
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Beaconhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

Repairs by material
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 pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Beaconhill: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
