Common questions in Hartburn
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover the whole of Stockton-on-Tees?
Everywhere in the UK, Hartburn included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hartburn?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Bath re-enamelling in Hartburn 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 regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and chips and rust in more than one place.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Stockton-on-Tees.

What else we do in Hartburn
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Hartburn
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
