Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hanging Houghton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
