Bath re-enamelling in Hunger Hill, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Hunger Hill questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hunger Hill?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WN6 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
