Bath re-enamelling in Hounsley Batch, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hounsley Batch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Hounsley Batch
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Hounsley Batch
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
