How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hugh Town
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a coloured bath you want in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hugh Town and across the Isles of Scilly.

FAQs for Hugh Town
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hugh Town
If you manage property in Hugh Town, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Hugh Town, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Hugh Town?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
