Bath re-enamelling in Hollinwood, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Hollinwood
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover Hollinwood?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hollinwood and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Hollinwood
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid 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
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
