Bath re-enamelling in Hook, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hook. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Hook
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hook
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

For anyone letting property in or around Hook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
