Bath re-enamelling in Hipsburn, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we are called out for in Hipsburn
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 most common problems we are called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hipsburn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Hipsburn
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
