Bath Re-enamelling in Hallbankgate
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Hallbankgate, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Bath re-enamelling in Hallbankgate without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hallbankgate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hallbankgate?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
