What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hillbutts
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace in Hillbutts?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the entire UK

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Hillbutts, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
FAQs for Hillbutts
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dorset.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are there extra charges for Hillbutts?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hillbutts?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
