Bath re-enamelling in Hockerley without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hockerley?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
