How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hodnet
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hodnet
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we’re called out for in Hodnet
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
