Bath re-enamelling in Hogpits Bottom without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Advice
What affects the price in Hogpits Bottom
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
FAQs for Hogpits Bottom
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hogpits Bottom
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Hogpits Bottom
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hogpits Bottom. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
