Bath re-enamelling in Heslington without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What affects the price in Heslington
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Heslington
Do you work in Heslington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Heslington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Heslington?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
