About our bath re-enamelling in Hallen
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Hallen questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Are there extra charges for Hallen?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Common problems we fix in Hallen
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hallen as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
