Hare questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hare
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hare as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hare

When to call us in Hare
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently 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.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
