Bath Re-enamelling for Sand Hill homes
Damaged bath in Sand Hill? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath re-enamelling in Sand Hill without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Sand Hill
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Common problems we fix in Sand Hill

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlord and trade work in Sand Hill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
