About our bath re-enamelling in Backworth
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Backworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Backworth: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Backworth. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
