Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hackman's Gate
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Hackman's Gate: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hackman's Gate?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DY9 postcode.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hackman's Gate
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hackman's Gate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
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.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hackman's Gate?
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
