Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hopperton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hopperton as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What else we do in Hopperton
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
FAQs for Hopperton
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Hopperton?
We do. Technicians travel to Hopperton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hopperton. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hopperton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
