Bath Re-enamelling in South Tyneside

About bath re-enamelling in South Tyneside

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

What we are called out for in South Tyneside

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Tyneside

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Tyneside use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around South Tyneside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Most clients in South Tyneside get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

South Tyneside questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
