About our bath re-enamelling in Hunny Hill
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Landlord and trade work in Hunny Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hunny Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace in Hunny Hill?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Places near Hunny Hill
Other services in Hunny Hill
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Hunny Hill
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What affects the price in Hunny Hill
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Hunny Hill. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO30 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
