- Holes rusted through the metal

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What affects the price in Great Houghton
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Houghton. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Great Houghton?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stains that will not shift
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
