Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hunston
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Hunston
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Hunston
Do you work in Hunston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hunston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
