FAQs for Hinstock
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hinstock. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hinstock
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Hinstock contact us include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
