Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Harton
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common questions in West Harton
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it 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. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in West Harton?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
