Bath re-enamelling in Heydon, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heydon as everywhere else we work.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

- A roll-top that’s seen better days

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
FAQs for Heydon
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
