Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastgate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Eastgate get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Eastgate: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to Eastgate?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Eastgate and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Common problems we fix in Eastgate
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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.
