Common questions in Hilgay
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Bath re-enamelling in Hilgay without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What else we do in Hilgay
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE38 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When to call us in Hilgay
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
