Bath re-enamelling in Hilton, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Hilton
Do you cover Hilton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hilton and the rest of Highland. 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 and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hilton?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Hilton

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Hilton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
