Repair or replace in Hollowell?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath re-enamelling in Hollowell without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Hollowell
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What else we do in Hollowell
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Hollowell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hollowell
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
