Bath re-enamelling in Hog Hatch without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Landlord and trade work in Hog Hatch
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hog Hatch
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Hog Hatch
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Hog Hatch is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Hog Hatch

- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
