Bath re-enamelling in Hellidon, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hellidon as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Hellidon
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
