FAQs for Harton
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When to call us in Harton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
