Bath re-enamelling in Broom Hill without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Broom Hill and across County Durham.

Landlord and trade work in Broom Hill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broom Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Broom Hill: your questions answered
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
