For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Bath re-enamelling in Hartshead, done in place
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 We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Hartshead
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Questions from Hartshead
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your WF15 postcode.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hartshead. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
