Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hallowood
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
