About our bath re-enamelling in Hele
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Hele
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hele?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
