About our bath re-enamelling in Sandhills
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sandhills as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Sandhills
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What affects the price in Sandhills
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WS8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
FAQs for Sandhills
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
