About our bath re-enamelling in Hickling
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Hickling
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What affects the price in Hickling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hickling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hickling
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
