How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Honing
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 Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Honing and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Honing
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What affects the price in Honing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common questions in Honing
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
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 is not disturbed while it cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
