What affects the price in South Heighton
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Bath re-enamelling in South Heighton, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in South Heighton
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
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.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Heighton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in South Heighton
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Common reasons people in South Heighton contact us are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
