Materials and what they mean for 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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Common questions in Hamsey
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Hamsey
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
