What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Questions from East Hedleyhope
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in East Hedleyhope?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in East Hedleyhope
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair is not the answer

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

When to call us in East Hedleyhope
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What affects the price in East Hedleyhope
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
