- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Haydon: your questions answered
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What else we do in Haydon
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Haydon
- Victorian roll-tops

What we’re called out for in Haydon
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Haydon contact us include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in Haydon
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Haydon. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Haydon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
