About our bath re-enamelling in Hackington
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CT2 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Hackington, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Hackington
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Hackington
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
