How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hooke
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Hooke
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Hooke included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Hooke
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hooke?
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hooke. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What else we do in Hooke
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
