If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Mountain Hare without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why Mountain Hare clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair typically 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 quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Mountain Hare: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are there extra charges for Mountain Hare?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Mountain Hare, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
