How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hillside
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hillside and across Sefton.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hillside
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in Hillside
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hillside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
FAQs for Hillside
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Hillside is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
