About our bath re-enamelling in Hartlington
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What else we do in Hartlington
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BD23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartlington
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartlington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Hartlington questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
