Bath re-enamelling in Hamister, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Hamister
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hamister. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hamister. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Hamister
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Common problems we fix in Hamister
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
