Bath re-enamelling in May Hill without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repair or replace in May Hill?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in May Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in May Hill
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around May Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
