Bath re-enamelling in Hale, done in place

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 cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Hale

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your GU9 postcode.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 is what we repair.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hale. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hale

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hale as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Hale customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
