Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hockerton
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common questions in Hockerton
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hockerton?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Hockerton
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hockerton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
