Bath Re-enamelling in Hooton
Our technicians come to Hooton for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hooton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hooton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

Hooton: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Hooton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace in Hooton?
