Bath re-enamelling in Hopeman without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Advice
When to call us in Hopeman
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Hopeman questions
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Hopeman and the rest of Moray. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
