What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Beamish
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Beamish. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
