Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hawkridge
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
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 a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Hawkridge questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Hawkridge?
We do. Technicians travel to Hawkridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hawkridge?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Repairing versus replacing in Hawkridge
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hawkridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hawkridge. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
