Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hallgarth
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Hallgarth
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in Hallgarth?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hallgarth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
