Bath re-enamelling in Hough-on-the-Hill without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hough-on-the-Hill

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hough-on-the-Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hough-on-the-Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Hough-on-the-Hill questions

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Are there extra charges for Hough-on-the-Hill?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hough-on-the-Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
