Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hope
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Hope
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Hope
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Hope. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
