How we handle bath re-enamelling in Humshaugh
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Humshaugh
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace in Humshaugh?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Humshaugh
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Humshaugh?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Common reasons people in Humshaugh contact us are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What else we do in Humshaugh
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
