DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Should you replace it?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Heighington. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Heighington
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Heighington and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
