How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hilton
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Hilton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, 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, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Hilton
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
