Bath re-enamelling in Hales without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Hales questions
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hales as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hales. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hales. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hales
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
