Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Hew Green, North Yorkshire
Bath re-enamelling across Hew Green and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hew Green
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hew Green?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
