How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hilcote
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Hilcote: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
