Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bothal
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Bothal
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Northumberland.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Landlord and trade work in Bothal
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bothal as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bothal?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Bothal
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
