Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hipley
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Hipley
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
Hipley: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What else we do in Hipley
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Landlord and trade work in Hipley
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
