Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling in Auckland Park without replacing anything
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 thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Auckland Park get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Auckland Park: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Auckland Park is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Auckland Park?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairing versus replacing in Auckland Park
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
