Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Battlefield, Newcastle upon Tyne
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Battlefield, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350

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 re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Bath re-enamelling in Battlefield without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Battlefield: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Battlefield?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Battlefield
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Battlefield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
