Bath re-enamelling in Hawkenbury without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Hawkenbury
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour-matched on site

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

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 is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Hawkenbury
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Hawkenbury
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
