- Resurfacing from £350

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common questions in Hackforth
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hackforth?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL8 postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Hackforth included. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we’re called out for in Hackforth
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
