Bath re-enamelling in Harringworth without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Harringworth questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What affects the price in Harringworth
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Harringworth
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
