Questions from Hilborough
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
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.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hilborough?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Hilborough?
We do. We send a technician to Hilborough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hilborough
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Hilborough
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What affects the price in Hilborough
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hilborough. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Hilborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
