Bath Re-enamelling for West Hurn homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in West Hurn, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Hurn
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
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.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Hurn
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
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.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
