How we handle bath re-enamelling in Acomb
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Questions from Acomb
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover Acomb?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Acomb from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Acomb
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Acomb as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
