Repairing versus replacing in Rose Hill
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rose Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Rose Hill. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Materials we work on in Rose Hill
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
