About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Hackney
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Hackney
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Upper Hackney questions
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, so Upper Hackney is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
