Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

About our bath re-enamelling in Hillyland

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Hillyland

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PH1 postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Hillyland?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hillyland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Hillyland

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Hillyland customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
