Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Heaton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Heaton questions
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you cover the whole of Bradford?
All of Bradford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Heaton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Heaton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Heaton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Heaton
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
