Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
About our bath re-enamelling in Deckham
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Deckham
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Deckham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Deckham
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Common questions in Deckham
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
All of Newcastle upon Tyne, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
For a price in Deckham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
