Bath re-enamelling in Heiton without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Heiton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Common questions in Heiton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the new finish last?
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.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Other services in Heiton
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
