Bath Re-enamelling for Hirst homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Hirst and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hirst
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price 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 there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Hirst, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

Hirst: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
