What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Bath re-enamelling in Hockering, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Hockering
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hockering. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Hockering questions
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hockering. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
