Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hathershaw
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hathershaw
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hathershaw as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Hathershaw and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Hathershaw: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
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.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Common problems we fix in Hathershaw
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Hathershaw contact us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Hathershaw
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.
