Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Hepworth, done in place
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. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Hepworth?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Hepworth
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hepworth.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What else we do in Hepworth
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common problems we fix in Hepworth
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
