Ashington: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Ashington without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE63 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Ashington
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone

Landlord and trade work in Ashington
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
