Bath re-enamelling in North Hill, done in place

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. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Hill?

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for North Hill

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in North Hill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to North Hill and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can landlords book you?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
