About our bath re-enamelling in Hillesden
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hillesden

Common reasons people in Hillesden contact us are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillesden

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Questions from Hillesden
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
