Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hellington
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Hellington
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s 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.

Questions from Hellington
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you come to Hellington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hellington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hellington?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

What we work on
- Acrylic baths

- Pressed steel baths
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
