Bath re-enamelling in Sunny Hill without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Sunny Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sunny Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Sunny Hill
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Sunny Hill questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE23 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

When to call us in Sunny Hill
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
