DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE48 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bellingham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common problems we fix in Bellingham
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Comparing quotes

- Whether they match the colour on site
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bellingham
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?

How quickly can you book me in?

Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice.
