Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hales
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Hales and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Hales
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hales as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Hales
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hales. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Hales, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hales
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
