How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hurlford
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hurlford
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hurlford
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hurlford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
