Bath Re-enamelling for Hillam homes

- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hillam
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. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Hillam
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Hillam questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish
Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
