How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hixon
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Hixon
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST18 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Hixon
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hixon. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Landlord and trade work in Hixon
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hixon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
