Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Bath re-enamelling in Hillington without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hillington

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillington

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Hillington customers choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hillington. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot 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.

Hillington questions

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hillington?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PE31 postcode.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
