About our bath re-enamelling in Hackthorn
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Hackthorn
Do you work in Hackthorn?
We do. Technicians travel to Hackthorn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When to call us in Hackthorn
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Stains that won’t shift
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
