Bath re-enamelling at your home in High Hesleden
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why High Hesleden customers choose us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What affects the price in High Hesleden
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TS27 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in High Hesleden
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
