Bath re-enamelling in Hawcoat without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Hawcoat: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common problems we fix in Hawcoat
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again

Landlord and trade work in Hawcoat
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
