About our bath re-enamelling in Hobbles Green
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hobbles Green?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hobbles Green. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common questions in Hobbles Green
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hobbles Green?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repair or replace in Hobbles Green?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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.
