About our bath re-enamelling in Hale Nook
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What we’re called out for in Hale Nook
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
Before booking anyone

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common questions in Hale Nook
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
