For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bath re-enamelling in Bank Top without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Bank Top
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Bank Top questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bank Top. Prices do not change with location.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What we’re called out for in Bank Top
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
