Bath re-enamelling in Bamburgh, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Common questions in Bamburgh
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Bamburgh and the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we’re called out for in Bamburgh
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
