Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done 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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Coundongate
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace in Coundongate?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Coundongate: your questions answered
Do you come to Coundongate?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Coundongate. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Coundongate?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through 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.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
