Bath re-enamelling for Blyth homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Blyth

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blyth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Blyth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Blyth questions

Will the new finish 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.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common problems we fix in Blyth

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
