About our bath re-enamelling in Hunger Hill
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hunger Hill
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hunger Hill
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
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 there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Hunger Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hunger Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What affects the price in Hunger Hill
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
