Bath re-enamelling for Deneside homes

Common questions in Deneside

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Deneside and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Deneside

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add 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.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Deneside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
