Bath re-enamelling in Acklam, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos 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.
When to call us in Acklam
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Acklam
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No extra charge for your area
Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Acklam questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Are there extra charges for Acklam?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Middlesbrough.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens on the day

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
