Bath re-enamelling in Howden, done in place
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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Howden
- Cast iron baths

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Howden
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
