When to call us in Hillend
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Bath re-enamelling in Hillend without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hillend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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 following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hillend, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
