Bath re-enamelling in Heworth without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Heworth
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Heworth.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
