About our bath re-enamelling in Easter Pencaitland
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Easter Pencaitland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Easter Pencaitland?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Other services in Easter Pencaitland
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Easter Pencaitland: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
