When to call us in Houghton on the Hill
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Houghton on the Hill. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures 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.
Repair or replace in Houghton on the Hill?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Houghton on the Hill
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Houghton on the Hill?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
