Bath re-enamelling in Heckingham without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Heckingham?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Heckingham questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Heckingham?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NR14 postcode.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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’s the part we put right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Heckingham
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
