Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. 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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blaydon
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gateshead.

For landlords and businesses
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blaydon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Blaydon
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Blaydon
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Blaydon?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NE21 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Blaydon is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When to call us in Blaydon
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Blaydon contact us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
