Bath re-enamelling in Hurstwood without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Hurstwood

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you cover Hurstwood?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hurstwood and the rest of Lancashire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hurstwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
