Heather: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LE67 postcode.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you cover Heather?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Heather from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Bath re-enamelling in Heather without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Heather
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Heather. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Other services in Heather
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 entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
