Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Alnmouth, Northumberland

- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Alnmouth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Alnmouth
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

What we are called out for in Alnmouth
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. We leave the room clean.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alnmouth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. 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.

Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
Everywhere in the UK, Alnmouth included. Travel is included in the price.
