Bath re-enamelling in Hanwell without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Hanwell
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
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.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hanwell
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
