DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Edmundbyers, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Edmundbyers and across County Durham.

Edmundbyers: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What affects the price in Edmundbyers
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Edmundbyers. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When to call us in Edmundbyers
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
