What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Burnhope. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Burnhope get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath re-enamelling in Burnhope without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Burnhope
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Burnhope?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Burnhope from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Burnhope and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Burnhope?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before booking anyone

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
