How we handle bath re-enamelling in Church Hill
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Church Hill
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

- Same prices wherever you are

Questions from Church Hill
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Church Hill. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Church Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Pressed steel baths
