Bath re-enamelling in Pound Hill without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pound Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pound Hill
For anyone letting property in or around Pound Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?

Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Common problems we fix in Pound Hill
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
