Bath re-enamelling in The Hummicks, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for The Hummicks. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Hummicks. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

The Hummicks: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in The Hummicks?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in The Hummicks?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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.
