Bath re-enamelling in Hillhouse without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Hillhouse questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
