Bath re-enamelling in Castle Hill, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Castle Hill
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Castle Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Castle Hill
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
