How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hampton
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Hampton
Do you come to Hampton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hampton and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Hampton
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us

- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
