Bath re-enamelling in Hastings Hill without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Hastings Hill
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Hastings Hill questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Common problems we fix in Hastings Hill
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hastings Hill
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
