How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hill Green
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Hill Green
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters
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 what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Landlord and trade work in Hill Green
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hill Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hill Green. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hill Green
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hill Green.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
