How we handle bath re-enamelling in Heath
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common questions in Heath
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Heath is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Repair or replace in Heath?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. 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.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Heath
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
