Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Huncoat. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Huncoat
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
