Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hett
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hett as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Hett
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you work in Hett?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hett and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Hett and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
