Repair or replace in Heworth?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Heworth clients choose us
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

About our bath re-enamelling in Heworth
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Heworth
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Heworth?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Heworth questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
