Bath re-enamelling at your home in Boldon Colliery

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Boldon Colliery. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Boldon Colliery. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Boldon Colliery

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Boldon Colliery?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
