How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dunston
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Dunston: your questions answered
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.

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.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
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.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Dunston. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dunston, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
