- Resurfacing from £350

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Questions from Great Heck
Do you cover Great Heck?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Great Heck and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?
All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Great Heck?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Repairing versus replacing in Great Heck
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Great Heck
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What else we do in Great Heck
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
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 just wears the enamel further.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Great Heck. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Great Heck, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
