Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hints
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hints and across Staffordshire.

Hints questions
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Hints and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Common problems we fix in Hints
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Repairing versus replacing in Hints
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour-matched on site
