About our bath re-enamelling in Hesleden
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Questions from Hesleden
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hesleden?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Hesleden?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hesleden. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Landlord and trade work in Hesleden
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hesleden?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
