Bath re-enamelling in Hildersham without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Hildersham

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top 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.
Questions from Hildersham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Hildersham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hildersham?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Hildersham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hildersham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Hildersham
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
