How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hotham
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Hotham

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace in Hotham?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hotham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
