How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hewas Water
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
