Landlords, agents and businesses in Howbeck Bank
For anyone letting property in or around Howbeck Bank, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Howbeck Bank questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.

Related advice
When to call us in Howbeck Bank
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
