Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cleasby, Darlington
We travel to Cleasby for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Cleasby without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Cleasby: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cleasby?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Cleasby
- Victorian roll-tops

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
