Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillgrove
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillgrove use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Bath re-enamelling in Hillgrove without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Hillgrove
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in Hillgrove contact us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hillgrove
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What affects the price in Hillgrove
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For a price in Hillgrove, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Hillgrove
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
