Do you need bath re-enamelling in Delves Lane?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Bath re-enamelling in Delves Lane, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Delves Lane?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why Delves Lane clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Delves Lane
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Delves Lane
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
