- Resurfacing from £350

What affects the price in Haster
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Haster
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Haster?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlord and trade work in Haster
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Haster?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Haster contact us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common questions in Haster
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
